This isn't exactly true. If a mix is off, you can't do much with it in any program short of cutting pieces out, fading bits together and adjusting the levels/dynamics of the final mix. You can't exactly fix a klanger after it's been klanged together... The way most 'pro-tool' mixes are done are: record the tracks into the computer, match the tempos and then mix the tracks in a multitrack audio program like protools/logic/cubase/acid/samplitude/etc. It is also possible to pre-match the songs before recording them, thereby circumventing the second step. Of course there are other ways to do it, but IMHO, this is the most flexible way, giving you maximum control over mix placement and length, tempo adjustment, levels, effects and so on. brock.
